Iker Casillas

[Barcaman]

One of the rare Madrid players that I really admire. If it hadn`t been for him we would have probably scored 4

I am so happy right now and my heart is full of love for this great club, but I must admit Iker is a really special keeper. World class penalty save, and made a zillion other from Eto, Messi, and Henry.

 

[M.L. King]

You've got to give him a credit.

Had the scoreline ended 0-0 which was the most likely result in the dying mins of the match, the world would have been talking about him as a saviour and the world's best keeper.

Im just glad we broke Madrid's stubborn back(10)defence-line!

One of the best goalkeepers in the world. He has saved Madrid countless times. Without him, Madrid is nothing.

[Barcaman]

A deserved win for Casillas. He won the league with Madrid + the European championships title with Spain.
But more than just winning them, he was probably the best Madrid player last season, saving their asses almost every week.
A great goalkeeper (although some would say his aerial ability stinks) and one of the rare Madrid players I admire.

You gotta start feeling sorry for vv. Not even in a top 15 list which includes jens lehmann at 9th! Doesnt get a look in in the NT, is always accused of being the weak link of the fcb team..its crazy.

His aerial ability got better towards the back end of last season. Recently he has dropped form and become poor at many things (including high balls)..but he is definitely adding some sort of aerial presence to his repertoire. Maybe not aerial presence..but definitely good decision making when it comes to high balls.

I truly admire and respect Casillas. I think he is the best keeper in the game today. Though Cesar is doing really good these days. Still Iker is exceptional. His performances in Euro was phenomenal as well.

 

[Barcaman]

I agree. Strange though, how he won the Zamora trophy only once

 

[FCBNOF]

Madrid lets him down, like yesterday's (4-0) for instance. If it wasn't for him scoreline would have been at least 7-0.

 

[mmandela]

He pulled of some really nice saves

 

[FCB-Michael]

Absolutely Marcus. They could have easily lost with a bigger margin had they not had Iker.

 

[M.L. King]

No doubt, the bast part of their team.
